OcUK FX 57 pre order

[Zefan]

£300, from reading around here 3700's top out at 2.8ghz roughly, the STARTING speed of a fx-57. theretically the fx still clocks above that aswell?

The most extra you're likely to get is 200mhz (to 3.0ghz), which it would probably need a little extra cooling to reach anyway.

It's not like the 4000+ is hard to OC atm.

Adjust mem frequency to 166, set fsb to 250, adjust voltage for stability (probably only 1.375/1.4v). Done.

FX-57 would be ever so slightly easier, set multi to 15, adjust voltage for stability. Done.

This is for systems with plain 200mhz mem.

 

[Explicit]

Forget spending £300 on single core, it's a dead end. Buy the 4400+ for half the price and enjoy dual-core.

Forget even spending £300 on a Skt939 AND an AMD.

Or on mine, just upped the FSB to 250 and left everything else on auto, you don't get much simpler than that.

£300 for a cpu which the socket 939 is now dead buy a amd 4000 which hit a wall @3.1ghz for £88

or take the £300 you'd spend on a fx-57 and spend it on a e6300 and new mobo instead. hey it's budget but with a decent mobo you'll have a clear upgrade path sorted for the next couple of years.

Plus it can get to FX-62 speeds .

So I've been told by people lucky enough to get one. Seen the benchies tho and it's pretty impressive.

 

[Minstadave]

FX-62 speeds? I've seen E6300s at 3.8ghz on air on here, that would seriously thrash an FX62.

 

[Cyber-Mav]

For £300 I'd expect more than just one core nowadays.

exactly my level of thinking.

If you pay 300 squid for one of these you need to be slapped in the face with a cold wet fish.
